Are those Transition lenses?

Interesting...

He is far more interesting here, than he is when teaching in his dvd ('your feet are like a tsunami"). Still, I wouldn't use him as my putting coach. Hmmm, golf is a mental game. Who would have thunk it? But he is right -- mentally, my swing looks great, but the video says something else. What's Sean's number? I want to hear him say "tsunami."

I love the fact that Sean actually presents in-depth information, and he seems to be much brighter than some of the other big-name guys (lookin' at you Haney, Harmon, and Ledbetter), but man, he gets less out of a minute of talking than anyone. It'd be interesting to see what he could be like if you told him "Sean, don't dumb this down one iota. Tell me exactly what you know in the terms you know it."

Erik, did he just call us a "momentary journalist"? lol

I think Sean does a great job with the "bed side manner" with his students.  I've heard bad things about him and great things about him, depends on who you talk to.  But no doubt he has been great for Hunter and Justin Rose

I've no idea who the best coach on tour is. What's so special about this interview?

Jeez, my only thought was, "He must be a lot smarter than he seems in that video." He rambled on for nine minutes and sounded more like Dr. Phil than somebody who knew anything about golf. And saying Faldo was in the top 5 of all time, which was about the only concrete thing I got out of the nine minutes, didn't help.

All I can say is that Foley seems to have people that admire and like him - or people that have great disdane for him and believe the guy is a thief.

I don't know what is true, and what is not... But I do watch O'hair, Mahan, Rose and Tigers full swings on video and like what I see.  And have yet to get caught up in the spat about where Foley learned his material - etc. etc.

O'Hair left Foley quite awhile ago. A year ago maybe?

I didn't know that.  His swing is fantastic.  Who's he currently working with?

Yeah, May last year after he missed 5 cuts in a row, also fired his caddie Paul Tesori.  Which was weird because I heard from a Foley guy that the Sean's were best friends.  O'Hair is working with Steve Dahlby.  From recent swing's I've seen, it looks very similar, maybe a more elevated left arm on the backswing.

Interesting... I didn't know that.

Was he taking a leak at the very end?  What a weird segway:  discussion about working with tour players at a major->awkward encounter with tree branch.

Also, I love statements like, "Just like everything, there's a duality to it."  Really Sean?  Even that statement, or is it the sole exception?
